TOC: ‘Beyond The Sun’ Edited by Bryan Thomas Schmidt
My first foray into crowdfunding via Kickstarter, Beyond The Sun was inspired by “Respite,” a story by Autumn Rachel Dryden published in Intergalactic Medicine Show’s first issue. It was also inspired by memories of my grandmas and I sitting around talking about the stars and NASA and what might be out there, and what it might be like to explore the stars. To my delight, I found that a lot of science fiction writers had similar dreams and experiences and the concept was a hit. Luckily, so did the fans who graciously backed the project.
Beyond The Sun funded successfully on October 17, 2012, 2 months after I launched it. It came in at 95250 words of fiction, 18 stories chosen from 25 submissions by invited writers at all levels.
